Interview by Lon Woodbury
Bill Lane, President and Founder of Bill Lane and Associates Transports spoke with Lon Woodbury from strugglingteens. com on L.A. Talk Radio about how adolescent transport services provide safe, smooth, professional and caring transport to a therapeutic program so that the child, parents and family can feel good about the process.
Bill Lane has actually been previous President of the CEDU School in California and has worked for about 40 years with young people with problems and their families in the struggling teens school industry. He believes that he has actually worked with over 10,000 families to offer transportation to all kinds of therapeutic and treatment centers.
How Does A Teen Transportation Service Work?
An adolescent transport service specializes in deescalating the transportation of a troubled teen or young adult from his or her home to boarding schools, therapeutic boarding schools, wilderness programs, drug treatment, or a residential treatment center.
Lane and his team know how to connect with teenagers. When they escort a new student to a program, it is not unusual for them to be warmly greeted and hugged by teenagers they had previously escorted. By the time teenagers get to a healing program, much of the anger and fear has actually dissipated. The time invested in transport, whether it is by plane or car, is used by agents to participate in deep conversations to make a smooth transition from the adolescent's house environment to the instructional and therapeutic facility.
The teams also work very closely with the parents at home and the professionals at the destination therapeutic program, informing them about all phases of the transportation via calls or text messaging. Additionally, special care is taken to select the right agents to do the transport, because the rapport that develops between the agents and the adolescent can have a lasting positive impact. Lane emphasized to Woodbury that for successful, drama-free transport, every adolescent has to be treated with dignity and respect.
All transport arrangements are made by the adolescent transport services to reduce the stress on the parents, keeping in mind efficiency and cost effectiveness. Rarely is force ever necessary, and at no time is the adolescent allowed to be alone from the time the agents begin the transport. Once the trip is completed and the adolescent is safely with the chosen program, the agent will then call the parents and give a full description of the trip.
Besides discussing the transport itself, Lane discussed with Woodbury ways to pick the best adolescent transportation services and the requirements necessary for transport agencies to choose the best transport representatives.
